Closing Plenary Session
Session title:
Futures Literacy—Connecting Communities, Transforming Governance
In this Closing Plenary Session, panelists address how Futures Literacy could help people and communities with diverse backgrounds, interests, and desires connect with one another, so as to jointly build the global commons that is just and sustainable. The global commons, broadly speaking, encompasses tangible objects such as common-pool resources and intangible goals such as international peace.
Discussions will evolve around questions including the below:
- What challenges do we face as we try to connect communities, broadly defined, to create the global commons?
- How can we overcome such challenges?
- What kinds of governance arrangements do you think we should build in order to create the global commons?
- How do you think Futures Literacy could be useful in our endeavors for the global commons?
